I'm slightly disappointed that this ended up being a one-episode arc. I thought Wilee was a very interesting character, especially with his surprising past. On the surface, he doesn't look very intimidating, but as Jonah soon realized, this was definitely not the case. In a show dominated by bullets and guns, bombs and explosives didn't really strike me as a weapon of choice for the members of the HCLI. However, I think that's exactly the reason why Koko chose to recruit Wilee—a humble expert with explosives who, along with herself, are on the FBI's most wanted list. Being placed on the same threat level as Koko definitely says something.
The clash with Excalibur was reminiscent of season one's battles—totally one-sided and quick. And while I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the annihilation of the hotheaded villains, the lack of tension irked me. Everything also seemed to happen too quickly; I would've preferred it if the other side put up a better fight, or at least managed to not get wiped out in mere minutes. In the end, they were just all talk.
Judging by the preview, Doctor Miami makes her return in the next episode to kick off a new multi-episode arc. Earlier in the season, Jonah sensed that Doctor Miami and Koko were scheming and it seems that this new arc might be the result of their planning and conversation. I'm expecting the first half of an arc, like always, to be more lighthearted and information-heavy when compared to the second. Hopefully, it'll still be enjoyable and not boring.
